Quills * Philip Kaufman * 2000

I saw this movie in the cinema and now is has just been released on video and DVD in the Netherlands. A very nice movie about the Marquis de Sade (Jeffrey Rush) in prison writing his pornographic literature. Laundry-maid Kate Winslet smuggles the papers to the outside world to have them published. They become so popular that they catch the attention of the church who send a doctor to ‘cure’ the Marquis with medieval methods.
A nice one if you enjoy medieval movies.
